#congratulations you are exactly the audience that rtd is Trying to chase off because you suck

[variousqueerthings]

you click on the wrong video and end up not on an analysis of the queer history of doctor who, but on someone going on a rant about how doctor who has never been queer and to shove it in now while pretending it always has been is "gaslighting" and "narcissistic" and it's not homophobic to not want doctor who, the show, to be overtly gay, because none of its fans want that

and this is why - quite apart from anything else - we take the terms gaslighting an narcissist and put it on a shelf and then go wash off the grime of that corner of youtube

but also this is why it's being so overt -- it's not to convince queer fans and just... chill fans... who already saw the queer subtext (and uh... text) -- it's to hammer it home to people who will be turned away by it, and also I guess, simply to say, "we're overt now, that's the kind of show we are"

it's not deep but for the part where anything queer text is always pulled apart, and so might as well not beat around the bush. just fuckn. is the doctor gay now? sure. to anyone who didn't already know
